Term
What are the two types of organisms?
Definition
unicellular and multicellular
Term
What is unicellular?
Definition
one-celled organism (Ex: Amoeba, paramecium, and euglena)
Term
What is multicellular?
Definition
Organism composed on many cells (Ex: plants and animals)
Term
What are the two basic cell types?
Definition
prokaryotic and eukaryotic
Term
What are prokaryotic cells?
Definition
cells that lack membrane-bound organelles ("poor and primitive," Ex: bacteria)
Term
What are eukaryotic cells?
Definition
cells containing membrane-bound organelles (Ex: "me" and "you")
Term
What do these characteristics describe?
-no nucleus
-DNA and ribosomes found in the cytoplasm
-Have a cell wall
-Ex: Bacteria
Definition
prokaryotic cells
Term
What do these characteristics describe?
-Have a nucleus
-DNA is in the nucleus
-Found in fungi, protists, plants, and animals
Definition
eukaryotic cells
Term
What is a small specialized structures found in all cells?
Definition
organelle
Term
What is another name for the cell membrane?
Definition
plasma membrane
Term
What do these characteristics describe?
-Flexible boundary
-It's a selectively permeable, phospholid bilayer
-Surrounds all cells
-In animal cells, it's the outer boundary (mad of cholesterol)
Definition
cell membrane
Term
What are the characteristics of the cell wall?
Definition
-Inflexible barrier that protects the cell
-Made of cellulose
-Only found surrounding plant, fungal, and bacterial cells
-Provides support and protection for the cell
Term
What is a watery, jelly-like material that contains the organelles, is located beneath the cell membrane, and supports and protects cell organelles?
Definition
cytoplasm
Term
What is the control center of the cell ("brain of the cell"), contains DNA, and is centrally located in the cell?
Definition
nucleus
Term
What are the characteristics of ribosomes?
Definition
-site of protein production
-can be floating freely in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum
Term
What is the transport system for RNA and proteins and is a series of highly folded membranes?
Definition
endoplasmic reticulum
Term
What is another name for the Golgi apparatus?
Definition
Golgi body
Term
What is used for synthesis, packing and distribution of material, is known as the "cell's post office," and looks like a flattened stack of membranes (or pancakes!)?
Definition
Golgi apparatus
Term
What do these characteristics describe?
-Sac used to store food, water, waste, enzymes, and other materials
-known as the "cell's storage tank"
-is very few and very large in plant cells (stores water)
-in animal cells has many small ones?
Definition
vacuole
Term
What contains digestive enzymes, digests worn out organelles, food particles, viruses and bacteria, breaks down larger food molecules into smaller ones, and is known as the "cell's stomach"?
Definition
lysosome
Term
What are the characteristics of chloroplast?
Definition
-captures light energy and converts it to chemical energy
-found in plant cells
-site of photosynthesis
-contains chlorophyll
Term
What is a rod-shaped double membranous structure where cellular respiration takes place, breaks down glucose into usable energy, and is known as the "power-house" of the cell?
Definition
Mitochondria
Term
What is the framework for the cell and is a network of tiny rods and filaments?
